Emily is a native Louisianan, and as much as she loves the food of her home state, she's interested in trying it all. If she doesn't like a food, she'll give it another chance just to see. She suffers from food FOMO, and at a new restaurant, Emily will beg everyone at the table to order something different in order to get the full experience!
